Find Cheap Flights to Canada from Romania and Book Today

Romanian citizens traveling to Canada for short stays (usually under six months) for tourism, business, or family visits need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), not a traditional visa. The eTA is applied for online and costs 7 CAD. You must obtain it before buying Canada plane tickets, as it is required for boarding. Ensure your passport is valid for the entire duration of your planned stay.

In major cities like Toronto, Montreal, or Vancouver, public transport (subway, buses, streetcars) is excellent and easy to use. Outside urban areas, Canada is vast, and renting a car is often the best option for exploring national parks or rural areas. Remember that distances are much greater than in Romania. For domestic flights, airlines offer frequent routes and can be a quick alternative to long drives. Trains are scenic but often slower and more expensive than domestic flights.

Accommodation options range from luxury hotels and international chains to cozy guesthouses (Bed & Breakfasts) and Airbnb. In rural areas and national parks, cabins and campsites are popular. Book in advance, especially if you are going during the summer or peak seasons, such as ski season. Prices can be significantly higher in major cities compared to Romania, so budgeting is essential when looking for Canada flight ticket deals and accommodation.

Canada is an extremely safe country with low crime rates. However, be vigilant in crowded tourist areas, guard your personal belongings, and do not leave valuables in cars. Scams are rare, but those related to cards or false online bookings may occur. Use only trusted ATMs and booking sites. In case of emergency, the universal number is 911, similar to 112 in Romania.

Canadians are renowned for their politeness. Punctuality is appreciated. Tipping is common and expected in restaurants, bars, and for services (usually 15-20% of the bill), unlike in Romania, where it is more at the customer's discretion. Canada is a bilingual country (English and French, especially in Quebec), and respect for both cultures is important. Be open to cultural diversity.

Canadian cuisine is diverse, but there are a few iconic dishes. Don't miss Poutine (fries, cheese curds, and gravy) and maple syrup, of course. In coastal areas, seafood is fresh and delicious. Try Tarte au Sucre (sugar pie) in Quebec. Fast food is popular, but also look for local restaurants offering game meat dishes or regional specialties. Restaurant prices are generally higher than in Romania.

Canada has a variable climate. Even in summer, evenings can be cool, especially in mountainous regions or on the coast. Winter is extremely cold. Pack clothes in layers, regardless of the season. Include a waterproof jacket and comfortable walking shoes. If you go to national parks, bring mosquito repellent. A plug adapter is necessary, as Canada uses Type A and B sockets (two or three flat pins), different from those in Romania.
